O'Malley v. Lukowich

The opinion of the court was delivered by: A. Richard Caputo United States District Judge

(JUDGE CAPUTO)

MEMORANDUM ORDER

Before me is Plaintiff's Complaint. (Doc. 1.) The Plaintiff has alleged jurisdiction pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. (Id. ¶ 4.) However, Section 1983 is not a jurisdictional statute, and only creates a remedy. Gonzalez v. Young, 560 F.2d 160, 163-64 (3d Cir. 1977). Plaintiff alleges supplemental jurisdiction, but such an allegation fails to create original jurisdiction in the district court.
